Cubicle 7 has announced: "The Eaves of Mirkwood™ & Loremaster's Screen for Adventures in Middle-earth™ is in our US warehouse right now, and preparations are underway to send it out to everyone who pre-ordered in the US!" The announcement continues:

The Eaves of Mirkwood is an introductory scenario for Adventures in Middle-earth. It comes with pre-generated characters, maps, and features streamlined versions of the Adventures in Middle-earth rules. It's the perfect package to introduce a new group to the game.

The great part is, if you want to try out Adventures in Middle-earth you don't need the Adventures in Middle-earth Player's Guide or Loremaster's Guide to run it. They would certainly be useful, but if you want to try out Adventures in Middle-earth for the first time, you just need the 5e rules.

Eaves of Mirkwood is a self-contained adventure, which should take roughly three hours to play, depending on your group's style. Perfect for a single evening's gaming session
